The vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop where it was diagnosed that the ignition switch needed to be adjusted and replaced. Also, the technician stated that there was a low voltage charge going through the vehicle, which caused the ignition switch to short. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000.
Car wont start at times because of ignition switch a real problem getting to work been waiting for my recall haven't received yet its not just a problem while driving its a problem getting the car to start also please let GM know this.
The steering wheel lock broke that in turn made the ignition switch go out and not recognize that it was supposed to turn, causing the lock and tumbler to need to be replaced. Then, after being replaced it needed to be taken to a dealer to have a flash done to it, for the car to recognize the new ignition. You can't get old parts for this, and the parts have to be purchased from the dealer.
